'Have your say' gives you the chance to influence what happens in your neighbourhood. 'Have your say' is a mechanism whereby issues identified through 'Have your say' meetings in your neighbourhood, are taken to a 'Have your say' partnership panel where courses of action are agreed.

How to get involved
'Have your say' meetings give you the chance to meet your Neighbourhood Team, have a say on how your neighbourhood is policed and monitor our performance.

• You can find out when your next 'Have your say' meeting is by entering your postcode into the In your area section of the website.
• At the 'Have your say' meeting you can tell your Neighbourhood Team what issues concern you. After the meeting, a smaller group called a 'Have your say' partnership panel decides on how they will work together to resolve the neighbourhood priorities.
• The Neighbourhood Team will report back to the next meeting on progress and will update the In your area section of the website accordingly.
• 'Have your say' meetings are open to everyone.

If you can't get to the meeting, you can register your Safer, Stronger Neighbourhood priorities for your own neighbourhood area online: register your priorities on-line here
